Fat Burning Diet VS Fat Burner Diet

15 May

I decide to write on this topic because I’ve been approached. And most of these approach starts with…

“Which fat burner are you using?”

“Which Fat Burner do you recommend?”

“I need to lose fat, Which is the best Fat Burner on the market?”

There is nothing wrong to think that way it’s just that i would prefer to think of the fat burner supplement as an extra aid than the main agenda. But i guess i don’t support the idea of making it a miracle drug for obese people as I believe the best way to lose weight and maintain it is to change for a healthier lifestyle. I don’t know bout you but I dread the idea of taking lots of pills. It makes me feel like a druggie. lol.

There are so many healthier ways to reduce body fat%. Top of my list is the are spices. Ranging from Tumeric, Cumin, Nutmeg, cinnamon…etc. And all this ingredient not only are packed with fat burning capabilities, they are full of antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, mood enhancers and healing agents. Of course, it adds to the taste. There was once i had a mix which made my oatmeal taste like Muruku (Or better know as Chakli). The culprit, Cumin. But I guess it takes a lot of determination, motivations and perseverance to maintain these diet day to day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. That’s why most would opt for the easy way out which they think works miracles. I guess speed is being consider here as well since everyone wants to look the best with the shortest period of time and without striving effort. But look at the bright side if you follow through, not only you earn a healthier life with natural food you obtain skills in the sense of self-discipline, time management, lust control and managing habits. 😛 It’s worth every second spend and sweat lost.

Of course other than these wonderful spices there is the concept of High Fiber, Low carbohydrates, mid-high protein, Low fats with small portion and frequent meals adds up for a healthier you. Try to avoid sugar or sugary food. Anything with *-ose (eg. Glucose, Sucrose, Fructose,.. etc.) they are all still sugar. You’ve already have enough of them in your food. Adding them would only ADD extra sugars into your diet. Unless you eat raw grass, I guess it’s best to try to avoid adding these into your ingredient.

You are after all what you eat so EAT WISELY, STAY HEALTHY, BE NATURAL

Natural Fat Burner
I just love the Indian Spices which is full of antioxidant, virus & bacteria fighting agents and most of all Fat Burning capabilities

Tone up Routine

10 May

The majority of the world populations look into cutting down on the size 1st. As most enjoy a great meal with a God’s portion if not the Incredible Hulk or Dragonball’s Goku. I won’t say all came to the realization of the sinister behind a big waist line on their health but more and more people are aware of its harm and are searching for the solution. Governments are organizing free activities to promote a healthier living. It’s never too late. YES! I would like to emphasis on that because most people gave up due to age, or a doc’s diagnose or even blame it on inherited disease. For the latter it’s impossible to cure but you can make your life a better life by not making it worst. Doc’s diagnose is not final. Although it’s there you can actually improve it by eating better and live a healthier lifestyle. Age? HA! That’s just Bull. There are so many 70’s Grandfather with great physiques on Google. Search it or click my link. It’s a choice not a luxury.

Hence the topic today and the reason why I choose to talk about it 1st. I find it easier to shed down once you master food. I’ve been bodybuilding for many years but I’ve reach a plateau not at the desired result unfortunately. I kept pumping and cardioing to no avail. The unfortunate occurred. I’ve met a girl who stops me from gym and I even injured my legs which cause me to limp for 2 years. So there goes 8 years being unhealthy. Eventually 2008 I picked myself up and started to study on food and how it can change our lives. One of the 1st few books I came across was “Eat more, Weight Less by Dr. Dean Ornish” Most would interpret in disbelieve how can someone eat more and still weight less? This Eat More simply means more frequency and less portion. By bringing your metabolism up constantly with food through digestion you are forcing your body to work hard to burn off those unwanted excessive fats without moving a muscle. But this is not the absolute solution. Of course, you must exercise too. Not just to tone up but to maintain a cardiovascular health. So what is the frequency like? It all dependings your body type. High Body Fat% & Low Muscles% probably can try every 3 – 3 1/2 hours. Mid Body Fat% & Muscles% can try every 2 1/2 – 3 hours. High Muscles% & Low Body Fat% can go every 2 hours. So that’s done on dieting and how to keep the body as a fat furnace 24-7.

So most are more interested in the workout routine. Can tell from those who walks up to me and ask. When I tell them it’s all about the food, they paused and then asked me so what about the workout? lol. Anyways. My tone up routine? Well, I mostly work from light 1st to get the muscles going and slowly increase to medium weight over time as my muscles get stronger. Maintaining very high repetition with short rest stops. I started out with supersets and slowly moved on to giant sets and ended up with a circuit routine.

Initially I tried cardio but I find it rather tiring and boring and well, it doesn’t burn as much fats as I’ve expected. And on the down side if I don’t watch my diet on cardio days I ended up burning more muscles than fats. And my high intensity routine works as a weighted cardio regiment so adding more stationary cardio is pointless and over doing. So I just focus on low weight, hight intensity routine to get really toned.

Disclaimer: This program works for me but it doesn’t mean it works for everyone. Know your body and how it reacts to different diet and workout to gain successful results.
